No. No it wouldn't.
Paris is the front runner.
my 2nd vote would have to go to London
btw ATLien, why wouldnt you want the 2012 Olympics to be in NYC/US?
I don't want to see the Olympics in America in 2012.

I'd like to see it somewhere else. America is great but share the wealth. We had it in 96 and 02. Maybe 16 or 18 or 20. I'd like to see Paris/London/Madrid. Any one of those 3.

someone said it was for sure gonna be NYC..but i dont no.
I really don't care. I guess Moscow, since Asia will have only had one since 2002 while Europe will be up to 2 (Athens (I think) and Turin), as will North America (SLC and Vancouver).
Really, it's pretty even. I'd still love to see one, if it is ever possible, out of Asia/NA/Europe, but we'll see if Africa or South America (at least one city) can get enough money to fund it while serving their needs. We've only had Olympics in North America, Europe, Asia, or Australia since the Olympiad has come back. I know that Africa and SA aren't exactly financial powerhouses like the three northern continents, but I'm sure that the Olympians in the southern hemisphere would love if they had one in Egypt or Brazil or South Africa.

I'd love to see Olympics in Africa, and I think South Africa would be a good spot. Maybe a winter one in Chille, although I'm not sure how things are there now.
I do think Russia deserves one, but I always thought of them as a Winter Olympics spot. Maybe 2014?

I think Moscow would be good either way, although I agree, I see them more as a Winter Location. I think it would be great for Moscow to get the 2014 games and possibly South Africa or even Brazil for 2016.

I think it should be in Madrid....it was a pretty good setting in Barcelona when they had it.
Id love to see the Olympics in South Africa or Brazil/Argentina.
Hell id like to see in like Jamaica too.

TSSL: Seattle Mariners 2006-2029, Pittsburgh Pirates 2030-present (209-277, 5 division titles w/SEA, 1 championship w/SEA)
I hope it will be in Europe, then I can persuade my parents to go to the Olympics.
It would be nice to see it in South Africa or South America. It is the world olympics, it is fair let other countries/continents to host it for once.
LOVE THEE NOTRE DAME!
NY=not happening. Bloomberg/Pataki are making last minute attempts to get it here, but I guarantee it's not coming here. Paris is where it's gonna go.
